Alternative Database Tools for Web Admin [closed]

Question

I currently use phpmyadmin for most of my database administration. It works well enough, but I'm interested in other tools that might work more quickly/efficiently/etc...

What are the best and/or alternative admin tools for MySQL on a *nix box?

Answer 1

A list of web replacements is available here:

• http://www.webdesigneronline.co.uk/10-great-alternatives-to-phpmyadmin

And this question was asked before in Stackoverflow as well:

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1324972/ajax-phpmyadmin-alternative

In my opinion, a alternative phpmyadmin should not just look good, but must at all cost keep up with security updates. If you are intranet user, it might be a different case, but I know from the early days of phpmyadmin that security is very important for anything involving "http and sql" ;-)

Answer 2

I myself use SQLyog:

SQLyog MySQL GUI is the most powerful MySQL manager and admin tool, combining the features of MySQL Administrator, phpMyAdmin and other MySQL Front Ends and MySQL GUI tools.

And sometimes use MySQL WorkBench:

is a visual database design tool that integrates SQL development, administration, database design, creation and maintenance into a single, seamless environment for the MySQL database system. It is the successor to DBDesigner 4 from fabFORCE.net, and replaces the previous package of software, MySQL GUI Tools Bundle.

Answer 3

Personally, I use Webmin(for MySQL on a Linux box). It lets you handle your databases mostly without needing any actual SQL. Also, it can do a host of other things including remotely installing modules, servers, if you have a mail server you can check the mail through Webmin too. You can change passwords, view logs, view cron jobs, and it has a shell too.

Answer 4

There's also SQLBuddy, though unfortunately it seems it's no longer under development.

You can use Chive

What is Chive?

Chive is a next generation MySQL database management tool. The web-based user interface supports most of the common operations needed by software developers and database admins (databases, tables, indices, keys, triggers, views, routines, privileges management, import/export).
